Dennis G Perry ,

Footnotes: Religion in schools

I couldnt agree more. Religion is a private choice. School is a public one and should focus on the building blocks of learning (i.e. math, science ect.) not worshiping. I have to say Matt. 1st time listener and very impressed and proud of you. Impressed enough to subscribe to the podcast. Looking forward to catching up on some of your past podcast and looking forward to your new ones. Congradulations and wishing you and your family the best. Dennis Perry
